Clarification Regarding Anamul Haque Bijoy and BPL 2025 Anti-Corruption Concerns

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has noted with concern recent media reports suggesting that cricketer Anamul Haque Bijoy, a squad member of the Durbar Rajshahi franchise in the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) T20 2025, has been subjected to a 'restriction on travelling outside or leaving the country' by relevant authorities due to legal issues related to the Anti-Corruption Code.

The BCB would like to categorically state that it is not aware of any such measures being imposed on Mr Haque and confirms that it has received no notification regarding official restrictions placed on him at this time.

The BCB has also come across media coverage regarding potential anti-corruption concerns about the BPL. The Board reiterates its firm commitment to upholding the integrity and spirit of the game. The BCB strictly adheres to the ICC Anti-Corruption Code for Participants and maintains a zero-tolerance policy towards corruption in any form.

The BCB Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) is continuously monitoring all matters relating to integrity within Bangladesh cricket, addressing them with due confidentiality and discretion. As part of its ongoing efforts, the BCB is in the process of establishing an Independent Inquiry Body to further support the ACU in its investigations.

The BCB remains dedicated to ensuring a fair and transparent cricketing environment and will continue to take all necessary actions to safeguard the integrity of the sport in Bangladesh.
